ROB SEZ:Before Robyn Hitchcock (solo act); before RH & The Egyptians; before Kimberley Rew's Katrina & The Waves, there were the SOFT BOYS in the late 1970s to early 1980s. They were really good! ALL PRAISES go to the taper and sharers, especially caravelle for re-sharing the 1980 show a few years ago. Artwork for the 1980 set by Mick. Thanks also to hingyfan and chip_christian for sharing the 2002 set, recorded on the band's Nextdoorland tour. (Note about the artwork: the fan who first shared this thought the correct month for the 1980 show was August, but Hitchcock fans did some research, and turns out it took place Sept. 1980.)

ROB SEZ: This is Peter Case around the time of his solo
debut album with a buncha musician friends, including Steve Soles, Victoria
Williams, and Fast Freddie. Live in session on “Snap” with the late,
great Deirdre O’Donahue. Below is a few years later, recorded in Peter’s hometown
of Buffalo, N.Y., near the end of the 1989 tour. It’s an incomplete set,
but a very sweet-sounding soundboard recording. The other two musicians on the
second set may be Michael Bannister on drums and Duke McVinnie on bass.

THANKS to kneesfudd for sharing the '87 set and to mjk5510 for sharing the ’89 set.
